It's time to get ready for another round of the 30 Day Shred. We're still wrapping up the Jan. session, but I figured it is not too early to get ready for the Feb. round scheduled to start Monday, Feb. 6.



The rules as quoted from Brandy (edited):
"You must exercise each day of the 30 challenge (6 Days per week- we are taking Sunday off this round) for at least 20 minutes. Feel free to use any DVDs you have on hand; Jillian's 30 Day Shred, Chalean Extreme or you can do any exercise you like, DVD, walk, bike ride, swim or gym.
You must check in to the check in thread each day to get checked off and your progress charted.
If you miss a day you can make it up on Sunday, you just have to let [the charter] know you did it so she can make sure your chart is correct.
Feel free to moan and groan..we all do..LOL

PS..it is a good idea to weigh and measure yourself before you start so you can see your own progress. There is no need to share this with the group, it's just for your own benefit. It is always encouraging to see progress."

I have the basic chart and will get started on it while you all sign up here!

[Sherry Lynn]

I'm in on this - thanks Kim!

[mimes1]

I think I'm going to sit this one out. These days have been too long and too busy. I will try to keep exercising as often as possible though.

[Sara Arell]

I'm going to have to sit this one out, Kim - just not up to it yet - maybe mid-way I'll join in and at least fill half the holes in my chart!

[Sara Arell]

Oh, and thank you so much for being the "keeper of the chart" again, Kim - I know that takes alot of your time and it is certainly appreciated!

[April Showers]

I'm in too! Thanks for taking care of this Kim!

[tiza126]

Count me in!

[mbc72]

I'm in. I got Jillian's 30 day shred, so hopefully I will be more consistent.

Thanks Kim!

[angleigh]

I"m in!

[SandiC.]

Add me in again! I'm on a roll now.

[podiumchick]

Starting to get a nice little group already. Amy and Sara, we'll miss you. But please keep checking on us! Sara, you get healed up, ok?

[Cheri T]

I'm in! And I have a new goal, maybe. Eep, DH's work has put together a small team for Fight For Air Climb in Des Moines. In case you don't go to the link, that is 1179 stairs (66 flights spread out over 3 buildings). Um - I might be crazy! I'm not exactly sure how to train for it either...I might have to put my thinking cap on, b/c I'd want to be reasonably sure I could do it before embarrassing myself in front of DH and his colleagues. I'm also not sure what that would do to my P90X2 schedule.

[PBarnes]

Count me in!

[Smiles]

I'd like to participate this round too!

[SodScrap]

I'm in! Thank you Kim for keeping track of us!

[Bride]

Please count me in on this one, Kim!

[Ro]

I'm in.

[podiumchick]

The group is growing. Bumping it up in case anyone missed it.

[JessicaLeigh]

Im All In! Getting Ready for my first 30 min round with Jillian Michaels "Buns and Thighs" Then on to a fav of mine and my sister's we affectionately term "Butts and Guts" A great Ab and Rear Workout! Ill be posting upon completion, If I can sit in my chair LOL!

[podiumchick]

Welcome, Jessica!

[JessicaLeigh]

Im All in!

As a Side note: If anyone has NetFlix streaming on the TV, they have a nice little collection of work out videos, from 10 min quick ones to the hour long killers...I do them on my off zumba days!

[Sherry Lynn]

I've completed my workout for today --- 30 minutes on the treadmill with the following results:

2.05 miles
30 minutes
5 degree incline
Burned 273 calories
Average Speed 4.1 MPH

[Jenna]

I am in - I mistakenly joined on the Jan thread but Melanie re-directed me.

I wasn't consistend in Jan for a variety of reasons but I'm ready to get this going. I mentioned on the other thread I plan to lose 50 lbs this year. After Jan, in spite of my admittedly scattered workouts & less than ideal diet (I did celebrate my birthday, after all), I managed to lose 2 lbs. I was shocked.

Today I did the 20 min beginner class 1 on my Zumba kinect game. I hope to find time to lift weights later this evening but I may not - Taliah has soccer practice. I am planning to walk to get the youngest 2 from school though & it's a mile each way.

I had hoped to lose 20 by our aniversary (a goal I set back in Aug). Holidays threw a wrench in the works. Though I didn't gain anything I also didn't lose so my loss from then to now is only 15. Doubt I will shed another 5 before the 8th! LOL

[luckyladybug]

Please count me in. I know I've been spotty--this first year back to teaching is maddening! I don't exercise as much as I should, but the Shredders thread really helps me carve out the time when I can.

Thanks for doing this, Kim!

[scraphappen]

count me in! I found this little group help me feel the motivation. And when I wanted to complain about it this was/is the place for it! this time I think I will add some cardio. Ihave tie bo (sp?) video's and some dancing with the stars excercise video's I think those will help!!

[Sherry Lynn]

I decided to do my workout before going to work today --- 30 minutes on the treadmill with the following results:

2.17 miles
30 minutes
1 degree incline
Burned 280 calories
Average Speed 4.34 MPH

[Sara Arell]

Kim, I think I'm going to try and do what I can this go-round so you can add me to the chart if there is room - probably won't do much more than walking at an easy pace, but at least that's something!

[AngRoCamp]

I'm back in! I love the extra accountability

[Cheri T]

Yay Ang, welcome back!

[JessicaLeigh]

Last evening's workout:

1 hour of High Intensity Zumba that cost me 693 Calories! Woot!

Today: It is my "Butts and Gutts" workout cause that is the one place I need it most! Jillian Michaels, I hope you got your boots on!
